Wild Irises

48" x 60" - 147 x 122 cm
Acrylic on Canvas
Wild Irises unfurls in a surge of violet, blue, and gold, its layered gestures echoing nature’s cycle of vanishing and return. Paula Arciniega paints the threshold where endings dissolve into beginnings, translating memory and sensation into color and motion.

Recently introduced to Louise Glück’s poem The Wild Iris by a friend, Paula recognized deep parallels with her own vision. See the poet’s Nobel overview: Louise Glück — Nobel Prize in Literature, 2020.
